Life Moves On
• 07/14/24 at 03:24AM •Life moves on,
away from here,
to another place.
Some place dear.
When the Worldly
places, where we live,
are no longer here,
then move to land above.
Life moves on,
away from here,
to another place.
Some place dear.
When the Worldly
places, where we live,
are no longer here,
then move to land above.
Topics change
as life advances,
to a different place,
with fewer chances.
Adapt you should,
for its best for you,
to understand what,
in life, you will do.
Come with me, my friend,
to a land far away,
where we return to our youth,
playing games every day.
A place, we will love,
above all the rest.
Where friends are friends,
unlike all of the rest.
There is no hatred,
where we will soon go,
just love for others,
as we live out life's show.
Are you ready to,
take the next move?
To play like a child,
with nothing to lose.
Sometimes we forget,
we were to drain the swamp,
when you are up to your neck,
in alligators.
Re-focus on your goals.
Stay strong, my friend,
you must do so every day,
for if you weaken,
your dream goes away.
I have too many words,
stuck in my head.
Some about youthful dreams,
and about looking ahead.
Why look ahead,
you have been told the news,
"Your life choices are over,
You can no longer choose."
I can still find a way,
to fight this disease, and choose,
a path of courage,
to win and not lose.
I choose life,
above all the rest,
to fight the good fight,
by becoming my best.
NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:
In 1990, cruising four billion miles from the Sun, the Voyager 1 spacecraft looked back to make this first ever Solar System family portrait. The complete portrait is a 60 frame mosaic made from a vantage point 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane. In it, Voyager's wide-angle camera frames sweep through the inner Solar System at the left, linking up with ice giant Neptune, the Solar System's outermost planet, at the far right. Positions for Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are indicated by letters, while the Sun is the bright spot near the center of the circle of frames. The inset frames for each of the planets are from Voyager's narrow-field camera. Unseen in the portrait are Mercury, too close to the Sun to be detected, and Mars, unfortunately hidden by sunlight scattered in the camera's optical system. Closer to the Sun than Neptune at the time, small, faint Pluto's position was not covered. In 2024 Voyager 1, NASA’s longest-running and most-distant spacecraft, is some 15 billion miles away, operating in interstellar space.
"Here’s some good news for you beleaguered gun right advocates: now you can buy your ammo from a vending machine. No need to haul down to your local gun dealer for bullets, just wheel up to the conveniently placed dispenser in your local chain grocery store. Course, at this time the only states where they’re located is Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama but you can rest assure American Rounds, the distributor, will expand exponentially until it reaches your very own Safeway". ...More at The Skeeter Daddle Diaries ➜
NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:
Planetary nebula Jones-Emberson 1 is the death shroud of a dying Sun-like star. It lies some 1,600 light-years from Earth toward the sharp-eyed constellation Lynx. About 4 light-years across, the expanding remnant of the dying star's atmosphere was shrugged off into interstellar space, as the star's central supply of hydrogen and then helium for fusion was depleted after billions of years. Visible near the center of the planetary nebula is what remains of the stellar core, a blue-hot white dwarf star. Also known as PK 164 +31.1, the nebula is faint and very difficult to glimpse at a telescope's eyepiece. But this deep image combining over 12 hours of exposure time does show it off in exceptional detail. Stars within our own Milky Way galaxy as well as background galaxies across the universe are scattered through the clear field of view. Ephemeral on the cosmic stage, Jones-Emberson 1 will fade away over the next few thousand years. Its hot, central white dwarf star will take billions of years to cool.
